It was a lot more fun than I thought. There were beaches close by. We stopped at Pizza Nova which turned out to be a gourmet pizza place - it was awesome. A great father - daughter day for us.

Very nice place, easy to check in and out. Very friendly.

The boat was clean and ready to go when we arrived. We were given a bottle of sparkling wine which we enjoyed as we cruised the bay with our friends.

We did this in 2014, not 2015. But we had a great time. Liked driving own boat.

Reasonable rates for what you get- a pleasant outing on the bay in a fair-to-midland Duffy boat. We've been in nicer boats that've been roomier and with more amenities, but there IS a price differential. It was good enough and the staff was courteous.

Parking is scary if you're driving a large SUV vehicle! The parking structure passages are NARROW and require backing up in some instances to get around corners.

I had to ask for a fully enclosed Duffy and the help said tip jar is over there. I thought that was very rude. I have rented from another company in Long beach and all their boats are enclosed.

It was great to spend the day with friends and family doing something that we would normally not do. The service was great and the whole Duffy boat experience was great!

The seats on the boat was torn up. Difficult to make a reservation because no one would answer the phone and it took days to get a response.
